Long story short I work for a comapny that does contract work for the US Military. Anyone else do what I do, or close and how did you answer when asked where do you work, or what do you do for a living? I have absolutly nothing to hide, but have read lots about short, truthful answers and am just looking for a good simple answer because what I do can be answered about 3 ways and I just want the best, simplest one, right up front for them. Thanks for any and all input and yes, I read and searched tons before posting this up.

State the name of the company and your position title. They will ask additional questions if they need to know more.

 

+1 tell the truth but don't offer any more info than is needed unless asked

 

10-4 Thanks guys.

Whose name is printed at the top of the check and where are they sent? That way if anyone checks you drivers license or if you have a company ID, it matches what you told them.

 

Crossed the border at Wolfe Island late last year, and they never asked who I worked for or what I did.

Had a harder time getting back into the US than I did getting into Canada.

I would tell them where I work. The last time I went to Canada, they asked me about 20 questions. But, three different ways they asked if I had any firearms, any self-defence weapons, and how do I protect myself.
All of the other questions were small talk to find out if I was carrying a firearm with me.

 

+1 name of company, position. Unless it's Columbian drug cartel, enforcer. probably not a best to be honest then. : )

 

Prostitute. you horny Independent contractor. Take the bumper stickers off the cage.This is not a free nation.

 

The idea behind them asking about your employment is they want to make sure you're planning to go back. Same with us going into the US. Consider if a person shows up at the border, "nope no job, no house, no wife, just on a holiday sir... "!

So the fact you have a job is what they want to hear. Have you ever tried to go to
Brazil? Due to reciprocity, they make us, the Canadians and Americans get travel visas just like we make their visitors do. To get a visa you have to provide employment verification by showing recent pay cheques, as well as recent up to date bank records. We require people from 3rd world countries to do that so we know they have something to go back to.

Just a tid bit of trivia. Carry on.
